How many times a week do you oil your scalp?

[La Colocha]

Ladies how many times a week do you oil your scalp. I will include a poll and would appreciate any feed back.

 

[Neith]

2x a week with a coconut oil/castor oil mix.

I oil it very lightly, doesn't have any negative affects on my scalp. I find it to be soothing and nourishing.

I oil/lotion my body after showering, so I decied to give my scalp a little oil after washig too

 

[Bun Mistress]

I use Vatika coconut oil almot everyday to everyother day. I stopped oild for a while and have seen a difference since I started back.

 

[FluffyRed]

Zero. I don't see the point.

My scalp creates its own oil and my hair does not need it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I use a little something every day or every other perhaps 2-3 times a week.

 

[mj11051]

I use a castor/jojoba/rosemary oil mix every time I co-wash my hair and that's three times per week.

 

[Sapphire_chic]

I don't. well actually mtg is an oil isnt it so 2/3 times a week.

 

[iNicola]

I haven't oiled my scalp in months so I'll vote never . I'm too lazy to go through my NG. It seem to be doing Ok with it's own oil.

 

[ceebee3]

I voted never, but I may try jojoba oil to see if I like it. My scalp seems to be doing fine without any oil.

 

[Starronda]

I oil my scalp every other day when my hair is straight. When its in cornrows under my wig or when I'm past 7 weeks post, I oil it everyday with castor oil.

 

[flowinlocks]

I voted 2 or more times, but I actually oil my scalp every night.

 

[dachsies_rule!]

I only oil my scalp if i'm using the WGO trying to get growth, 2-3 times a week. Other than that i don't oil my scalp.

 

[manegoal]

1-2x a week for now but I may go to 3x/wk during the winter. I use EVCO/JBCO mix.

 

[BooBooChicken]

I haven't used any oil or grease on my scalp in over 30 years.

 

[Chameleonchick]

Usually 2-3 times a week

Hi La Colocha!

I voted never. Applying anything to my scalp is asking for disaster. I have sensitive and flaky scalp.

Hey sheryl how are you lady? My scalp is sensitive also, i was wondering how many times a week should i oil my scalp. Everyones head is different. I oiled mine with some oil last night and my scalp feels really good. I would like to continue with it as long as there are no negative effects. I started this thread to see how others are doing thier scalps.

 

[charmtreese]

I use a little something every day or every other perhaps 2-3 times a week.

Me too...I use something just about every day or every other depending on how my scalp feels.

I see my scalp as an extension of my face. Just as I wash my face and apply vit e oil and moisturizer, I moisturize and oil my scalp.

I find oiling my scalp very necessary, since my scalp does not produce enough sebum to keep it and my new growth at optimum health.

I always spray my scalp with a light moisturizer and then apply my oils or butters.

My favorites are (in no particular order):

Kalawentz Bio-cys-tin
Black and Bossie natural hair oil
Castor Oil
Jane Carter Nourish and Shine

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

2x a day when I moisturize and seal.

 

[Tinkerbell19]

hmmm not often at all sometimes i ask my kids to oil it for me because i know they are heavy handed with grease lol then i sleep with a satin bonnet and wash it out in the am.

 

[henna555]

i oil my scalp every two days because scalp gets very dry, i oil my scalp with olive oil my hair loves it.

 

[La Colocha]

Thank you everyone for responding, i appreciate it.

 

[MilkChocolateOne]

[Poranges]

3x Weekly w/ Beemine Growth Serum.

 

[Hysi]

i use a mixture of coconut oil/ castor/ almond oil/ evoo 2x week. I stopped for a while (since I'd been moving) and i noticed that my scalp was a bit dry in certain areas. while my main mo for oiling the scalp was to help fill in areas that were missing hair (who stole my hair & left me wit these spots!??), those areas are filling in at a wonderful rate; but i found that in certain areas where i am prone to light flaking have gotten considerably better and while i don't like oily head, with the use in those areas the flakes are non-existent.

 

[tocktick]

2-3x a week. I like oiling my scalp because it gets so dry, even though I only wash once a week with shampoo. I mainly use olive oil infused with garlic mixed with essential oils.

 

[Supervixen]

Oh my goodness you all! FOR YEARS, YEARS, I thought that oiling the scalp hindered hair growth, but I've always had my best hair while oiling the scalp. Thank you all! I'm going to start oiling again.

 

[femmemuscle]

since i'm wearing extensions, i oil once a day. I tried doing so otherwise, and when the weave was taken out - there were moist areas and dry areas.
